Here you have a very solid 1970 Barracuda. I bought this car in 2009, from a collector here in Dallas area. It had been barn/garage kept for yrs prior to his acquiring it. I bought this for a reason that no longer applies in my life, and honestly dont love E-body like most mopar guys do. Anyway, Im never going to restore it or drive it, since i have my dream car now.
I really havent done anything to this car since I bought it except move it from storage to storage, where I probably put on 50 miles maybe. so car is sold as is where is, and shipping is yours to arrange - however I'll help if i can.
What I have done since buying it:
Bought a correct original twin scoop hood, complete with original hood pins and brackets (its on the car now, but have the original hood still)
bought a convertible top boot in white
bought a spare luggage rack, so i could get the missing rail
had the front and back seats refoam and recovered and bought new seat back panels for the front seats. The seats are not installed - but stored in closets to avoid cats scratching them lol
the car came with a new carpet, which is still in the box - I assume its good.
bought a used am/fm radio i was told for e bodies (given the price - i hope it is)
i moved it, i moved it i moved it
Condition:
LOOK AT THE PICS:
for some reason there is a rust piece below rear license plate - never seen that before
trunk floor has two through spots, I believe from water .
SPEEDOMETER states 40k, whether thats 140 or 40 I have noo idea - numbers line up nice though. I AM NOT CERTIFYING the mileage
Other than that - its a very very sold car - dallas car its whole life I was told.
It ran, but last time i started it it would only idle at like 2,000 or not at all - so dirt in carb or vacuum leak maybe
Dash is cracked - like all of them
A/C - all there it seems but doesnt work (it did but someone leaned on the line and cracked it so it all leaked out
car now has a 4 barrel carb and ran strong when i used it - seems to be better than a stock 318
one qtr glass is missing now (from moving around I have NO IDEA where I put it.
a few weeks ago someone put a green convertible on here with all sorts of serious rust and it went for $21,600 - look it up.
I will be losing a LOT of money on this car, since I think i bought it a day before the bubble burst.
It has 14s on front and 15s on back and they are dried out tires
IT NEEDS A CONVERTIBLE TOP - frame is there and its power and still works.
Rocker trim - is different on this car than what Ive seen on them typically.
I would recommend trailering in, since like i said they are old weak brakes and it really should be tuned due to how it idles now. - why wreck it for a few hrs work.
This car is a great find and very rare in this condition - look and decide for yourself. But if you win - it is to BUY AND TAKE it - NOT to come and look at it.
Frame is great, quarters, fenders, doors, firewall, floors etc are great - this is a SOLID car - I bet with a tune up and say put the interior in it and tires and brakes - the basics you should be able to run it as is.
AS IS - WHERE IS - come look at it - you decide,
thanks

Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars
Sat, 18 Jan 2014The Plymouth Superbird is one of those classic American cars from the muscle car era that has captured the imagination of all sorts of automotive enthusiasts long after its presence on roads and race tracks wore away. It's easy to see why. Where else but in the Swingin' Sixties and Seventies would a car leave the factory with an aerodynamics package that included a pointy beak and a rear spoiler that sat several feet above the rear deck?
The example you see above, which was born in 1970, is one of the finest Superbirds we've ever seen. Combine its complete restoration with its original 426 Hemi engine, and it's no surprise that it managed to bring in a cool half million dollars (plus 10 percent in fees) at Barrett-Jackson. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above, and scroll down below for the official auction description.

'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]
Mon, 16 Jun 2014
We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.
'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
